Five Element theory is an ancient system originating in China that organizes our experience on physical,emotional and spiritual levels.
It is based on the idea that human beings are as much a part of nature as a rock, a tree or rushing stream. Therefore, the elements of nature are used to organize our experience and physicality.
In each one of us, the principles of the 5 Elements can be seen in our physical bodies, meridian energy, personality and gifts/challenges.
The five elements are: Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, Wood. The dominant element we express and manifest is called our constitution.
I've developed a line of essential oil blends for each element using 100% oils from Young Living, Do Terra and Wyndemere Naturals. The blends are crafted to enhance, balance and strengthen each element as it is expressed in our bodies and spirit.
Wood Element expresses itself most strongly in Spring and so Wood Element blend on sale till May 30.

A Note about Balance:
It occurred to me today that for something or someone to be balanced there must always be the potential for movement. We continually wobble away from center only to come back into balance. To know healthy balance we must be off balance sometimes. The question is how quickly can we find balance again?
We can be both excessive and depleted in an element at the same time. And we can find balance in that element as well. It is a dance, always coming back into alignment. Yin is always becoming yang, and yang is always being coming Yin.
So its best not to hold balance as some sort of ideal we need to work to attain, but rather as a touchstone we can return to.
Essential oils are a way to express, align and balance our elemental natures. And they smell beautiful!
Enjoy Spring,
